92 - How to Use Medium to Land Freelance Writing Clients

Author: Michael Leonard: Copywriter & Freelance Writing Coach May 27, 2020 Duration: 17:40

In this episode, I teach you 3 tips on how to turn your Medium.com writing into landing freelance writing gigs.

Freelance Writing vs. Medium Writing

Freelance writing is when you find clients and write content for them to get paid. I have made over 6 figures writing for clients over the last few years. Freelance writing is the best way to make money quickly online! If you miss writing your own content, though, Medium.com is a great place to write and earn money through a variety of ways:

  1. The Medium Partner Program
  2. Affiliate Links
  3. Build Your Email List

The biggest difference between writing on Medium vs. Freelance writing is that you are your own boss. Freelance writing you have client deadlines and are writing for others; Medium gives you the chance to write about topics you are passionate about and more.

3 Tips to Land Clients on Medium

Here are 3 tips on how you can land clients by writing on Medium.com

  1. Get Published in Publications on Medium
  2. Link to Your Medium Features on your Writing Website
  3. Promote Your Medium.com Articles On Social Media
Freelance writing with clients is very different than writing on Medium, but together they can blend together beautifully.
